hellish - don't bother

[Ed Sutherland]

As an on-again, off-again Linux user (YDL, Gentoo, Suse, Lindows and 
Ubuntu), I have to agree. Linux was once the refuge for average desktop 
computer users looking for an alternative to Mac or Windows. As these 
two major OSes have increased their usability (particularly Windows 
security), the attractiveness of Linux for mainstream users has 
dwindled. Today, Linux remains the sole haven for users which either 
cannot afford to upgrade to a modern major operating system or cannot 
philosphically stomach the motives of MS or Apple. Myself, computers are 
not an end unto themselves, but a tool enabling me to make a living. It 
is rather significant the place society has put computers; second only 
to the love-hate affair we've developed with the automobile.
